Save the Bones for Henry Jones

We’ll eat some food that’s rare\nAh, at the head of the table (Mhm)\nWe’ll place brother Henry’s chair\nInvite all the local big dogs (All of 'em?)\nWe’ll laugh and talk and eat (Uh-huh)\nAnd we’ll save the bones for Henry Jones\n'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat\nNow, listen, Ray (Talk to me)\nI’m going down to the market (Go 'head)\nAnd buy up a lotta fish (Sounds like a good idea)\n(Uh-huh, yeah)\nThat oughta please brother Henry (You think he’ll like it?)\nOh, he’ll love it, 'cause, uh, fish is his special dish\nI’ll get a great big can of molasses (Alright)\nJust to have a little something sweet (Mhm)\nAnd we’ll save the bones for Henry Jones\n'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat\nNow, listen here, Ray (I'm listening)\nYou know, Henry’s not a drinker (No)\nOh no, the boy rarely takes a nip (Are you sure about that?)\nYou see, he don’t even use no napkins (Say what?)\nBecause the things that he eat, they don’t drip (Blip)\nOne day we had a banquet (Really? Yeah)\nIt really was a bake\nWell, it started out with some short ribs (Mhm)\nYou know, Ray, and we finished off with some good ol' steak\n(Oh, I remember it well)\nWe thought the chops were mellow (Yeah)\nBut he said his chops were beat (Uh-huh)\nSo we served the bones to Henry Jones\n'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat\nCome on, Mr. Jackson, give it to me\nHey, Lou (Yeah, what’s happenin', baby?)\nListen to this (Yeah, what’s that?)\nHenry’s just not no drinker (Oh, you jivin'), uh-uh\nHe rarely takes a nip (He won’t even take a sniff?)\nNever\nHe don’t need no napkins (Well, well)\nBecause the things he eats don’t drip (Say what?), blip (Mmm)\nOur banquet was most proper\nRight down to demitasse\nAh, from soup to lox and bagels (Alright)\nKnow what, Ray? (What's that?)\nThey even had some pheasant under glass\n(Now ain’t that class?) I’m tellin' you\nBut when the feast was all over\nOur brother Henry just kept his seat (Really?)\nSo we served the bones to Henry Jones\n'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat\n(Now you know he’s a vegetarian) (Really?)\nHenry don’t eat no meat\n(Can you believe that?)\nHenry don’t eat no meat\n(He's got to be an egg man) (Sho 'nuff)\nHenry don’t eat no meat\n(Give him a bone to suck on)\nHenry don’t eat no meat\n(Alright band, get me outta here)
